Okay, I've been around a little while, and have had my share of fish over the years, but I find I have a specimen who was not properly identified.
He's the last of a set of five Anthias I got as Dispars. One by one, they died or just disappeared, until.just one remained. With no competition, it matured to a male, and it does not look like a Dispar. It has a lyre-shaped tail, not forked, and the coloration is not what a Dispar would display. Not evident in the photos (3 year old phone camera) is the orange line running from the mouth to the pectoral fins.
Anyone have any idea?
